well just to share my experience

my friend caught 2 females for me i didn't know where he got it from but he just ask me go his house collect if i really want them.

so after arriving at his house the rays were in very bad shape you can tell they are really stressed and cramp in a 1.5ft cube like toyogo container at that time they were 6 and about 8 inch

so i brought them home i put them in a 3ft curve pal for the next 2weeks

and i let them rest for about 30mins -45mins while waiting i made my own D.I.Y filter from tapao container i put some coral chip and small bio home and the water was still the reservoir water btw.

so after i was done i slowly use a air tube and drip my water for the next pass 1week.

day 2 i start sucking out the dirt,dust and sand from the pal everyday about 10-20% while it drips and i bought small goldfish and shrimp to get them to start eating as you can tell they are really skinny

about 5days later they started eating bit by bit and over some time they started eating de

so now they at my house eating like pigs and like to fly around and go up the wall so and so but the part which really made me so happy is when sometimes i come back from army tired when i look at them they tend to come close to me as if like a dog greeting its owner very touching

Yours, probably also because you are experience in this forte maybe.. if given the chance for me. They probably die under my care during conversion/transition.

How big are they now? Share some photos if you can!
